Where to Use Contemporary Planters

As well as complementing private gardens of any size and style, they also look great on patios and can create a centrepiece feature of any outdoor living area. They are even effective at creating boundaries for different areas of your garden. They work just as well on balconies and are very popular for bringing a touch of greenery and nature to commercial spaces such as hotels, offices and restaurants.

Materials Used in Contemporary Planters
We create our planters in a range of strong, long-lasting materials so they both fit the aesthetic of your location and provide a low-maintenance planting solution:
- Corten Steel: The natural coating or ‘patina’ that develops on Corten steel gives each planter an industrial, weathered look while helping it feel right at home in outdoor settings.
- Powder-Coated Steel: Fancy a splash of colour? We can powder-coat your steel planters in a wide range of RAL colours, so you have the perfect shade for your garden. We can even brand units for use in commercial spaces, making these sleek, modern planters suited to any location.
- Fibreglass: Strong and long-lasting, our fibreglass planters are lightweight, versatile and can also be powder-coated in your choice of RAL colour.
- Wood: Nothing delivers a classic, natural look better than wood, whether you want a classic or contemporary-looking planter for your space.
FAQs: Simplifying Your Experience
What is contemporary design?
These kinds of planters feature clean lines, modern shapes and are carefully constructed from premium materials to complement modern indoor and outdoor spaces. They combine practicality with stylish, architectural design.
What is the difference between contemporary and modern planters?
There are similarities, but modern planters usually follow minimalist design trends, while contemporary styles blend current design trends with timeless materials, textures and shapes to suit a wider range of spaces.
Are planters suitable for outdoor use?
Absolutely. Many contemporary outdoor planters are specifically designed for outside use and are manufactured from weather-resistant materials such as Corten steel, powder-coated steel and fibreglass.
What materials are best for modern planters?
Corten steel, powder-coated steel, fibreglass and wood are all popular choices for modern planters thanks to their durability, low maintenance and distinctive appearance. Powder coating allows a custom colour to finish your planter perfectly.
Do contemporary planters require maintenance?
Most contemporary planters require very little maintenance. Materials such as Corten steel and powder-coated steel are designed to withstand outdoor conditions with minimal upkeep. Corten steel forms a natural barrier or ‘patina’ to help protect the underlying steel from the British weather.
Where can contemporary planters be used?
These planters are suitable for gardens, patios, balconies, roof terraces and commercial spaces, including hotels, restaurants, offices and public outdoor areas. With our ability to craft custom planters, the possibilities for where they can be installed are near-endless. Whatever you require, we can make it.
Are planters suitable for small spaces?
Absolutely. They are available in a wide range of sizes and shapes, making them ideal for compact patios, balconies and smaller gardens. Take a look at our range above to find the right size, or get in touch with us to request a custom size.
Can I customise contemporary planters?
Yes. WEATHER IT offers bespoke planters in a range of sizes, materials and finishes to suit your exact design requirements. Just get in touch and let us know what you need.
Why choose metal planters?
Metal planters are durable, low-maintenance and ideal for creating a clean, contemporary look. Materials such as Corten steel also develop a distinctive natural patina over time that helps protect the metal.
